Ricky Martin, the celebrated Puerto Rican singer, fulfilled his dream of fatherhood despite challenges related to his sexuality. At 52, he’s a proud father of four children, each with a unique story.
His journey to fatherhood began with the birth of his fraternal twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, in 2008 via surrogacy. Now 15, the boys share a striking resemblance to their famous dad and often accompany him to his work engagements.
In 2017, Martin married Jwan Yosef, and the couple expanded their family. Lucia, their daughter, was born in 2018, followed by Renn in 2019. Despite the joy of fatherhood, Martin and Yosef announced their divorce in July 2023, prioritizing a healthy co-parenting dynamic.
Martin cherishes his role as a father, relishing moments with his children. He embraces the modern family dynamic, where his kids have two loving dads. Despite challenges, Martin finds fulfillment in fatherhood, even if his children aren’t shy about critiquing his singing skills!
As his children grow, Martin sees their unique personalities shine. While Matteo shows an interest in the arts, Valentino dreams of becoming a YouTube sensation. Lucia and Renn, the youngest members of the family, bring boundless joy and love.
